He’s a horse with issues — muscles, back trouble and everything like that going,. There’s been a lot of work done on him over the summer. He got into a rhythm today — he loved it - a pair of blinkers on him, Ruby on him — and from the word go you could tell after three fences that today would be good a day for him. He ran over hurdles recently and he just didn’t enjoy himself. If you could just keep him right — he won his point-to-point by twenty five lengths. He won his bumper then by ten and we thought he was the real deal. Things just didn’t work out for him. If you can keep him right it clicks and it clicked today. All the big handicap chases are now back on the agenda if we can just keep him right. Ross O'Sullivan, trainer
